Barges Les manoeuvred around front of ship (6)
I believe the answer is:
elbows
'barges' is the definition.
(to elbow someone is to barge them out the way)
'les manoeuvred around front of ship' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvred' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'front of ship' becomes 'bow' (I've seen this before).
'les' is an anagram of 'els'.
'els' enclosing 'bow' is 'ELBOWS'.
(Other definitions for elbows that I've seen before include "Human joints" , "Jostles" , "involved in the movement of arms" , "They make a point of jostling" , "Major arm joints" .)
